With Often your users can see all the data that you have about them. All user data is also only stored for 6 months and then automatically deleted. This design probably led to no option for exporting any of this data.

Matomo

Matomo is an open-source web analytics platform
Pricing:
- Open Source
Matomo, known to many as Piwik (original project name), is probably the closest self-hosted Google Analytics alternative. Unlike the alternatives mentioned above Matomo comes packed with features like heatmaps, session recordings, A/B testing, visitor profiles, and more. If you cannot live without these advanced features, Matomo is a good choice.

Simple Analytics

The privacy-first Google Analytics alternative located in Europe.
Pricing:
- Paid
- Free Trial
- $9.0 / Monthly (Max 10,000 page views)
Simple Analytics was my original second contender for the analytics of this blog. The $19 a month starting plan with 100k pageviews is on the more expensive side, but their yearly deal gets you a better price than Fathom at just $9 a month.
